Once a fire breaks out in a crowded buildings site, it will do great harm to people’s lives and property safety. Therefore, the flame retardant and fireproof performance of building materials has attracted more and more attention from the society. Of course, the test methods of flame retardation are different according to different materials, different industries, different standards. Among them, the cone calorimeter is the most commonly used methods to evaluate the flame retardant performance, and test environment is closer to the real fire combustion environment and more representative. It is widely used in building materials,  polymer materials, composite materials, wood products, cables and other fields.

Cone calorimeter is a new generation of polymer materials combustion performance tester based on the principle of oxygen consumption. It calculates and measures the heat release rate, mass loss rate and other parameters in the combustion process according to the amount of oxygen consumed by the material, and is used to analyze and judge the combustion performance of the material.

The instrument adopts cabinet design, PC15-inch touch screen computer full control, automatic ignition system, automatic measurement of combustion time, portable water cooling system and high automation level.
